Especially weekends. Just this Friday evening, I was making dinner. I really wanted to have a couple of vodka and tonics. Finally, after we ate, I did the dishes and went up to my bedroom. I finished the book I was reading. Then, I looked outside and the sky was gorgeous! So I walked down the street to get a better view and took some pix--to use later for reference to do a painting. I then watched a bit of comedy on tv and went to sleep.Turned out to be a decent evening after all.
